The battle was continued ten other rounds, when the Baker was hit away from time, and Suffolk was declared the winner, who is matched to fight Josh. Hudson within a month. THE STREATHAM YOUTH AND THE BRIGHTON BRICK-MAKER. At the conclusion of the Brighton races, on the downs leading to Lewes, a battle was fought between the Streatham Youth (Neale), and the Brighton Brick-maker (Bill Crib), for a subscription purse. Crib was seconded by Young Belasco and Kenrick (the man of colour), and Neale was handled by Warren and Crawley. The men fought eleven rounds, but Crib could not fight well enough for Neale, who is very much improved since his conquest over Deaf Davis, and was declared the victor. Neale has some very good milling points about him. He offered to fight any man on the ground for a purse before he put on his shirt. The Gas Man held the watch, and conducted himself after the style of a swell time-keeper. THE STREATHAM YOUTH AND THE PEA-SOUP GARDENER. At the conclusion of the Lewes races, on Saturday, August 3, a battle took place between the above milling coves on the race-ground, for a subscription purse. Neale was seconded by Peter Warren and the Brighton Brick-maker. Pea-soup was looked after by the junior Belasco and a Yokel, Martin held the watch. It was no match. The Pea-soup cove was made broth of in the first round; and so decidedly was the advantage in favour of Neale, that 5 to 1 was offered and no takers. Pea-soup continued the THIS bird is so common, and so well known, that a description of its form, plumage, haunts, or habits, would indeed be a twicetold tale; yet there are two or three circumstances concerning it, which we may venture to expose. It is not generally known that the crescent or horse-shoe (as it is called) on the breast, is a much less peculiar characteristic of the male than it is said to be. Persons who get their living by preserving birds, not unfrequently, on dissection, ascertain this mark on the hen; and old hen birds becoming barren, obtain (as in the pheasant) the plumage of the male. In regard to size, a cock partridge from a rich inclosed corn country has been known to weigh sixteen ounces, commonly they do not weigh near so much; and on poor half-cultivated hills on the edges of high moors, nine or ten ounces would weigh down a bird. The red-legged partridge is now not uncommon on many manors in the West of England, also in Suffolk and Norfolk. It certainly is a species of great beauty, and by some persons preferred for the table even to the grey. FEAST OF WIT; OR, SPORTSMAN'S HALL. IN the church-yard at Towyn, in the county of Merioneth, North Wales, is the following inscription on a tomb-stone. Here lieth the bodies of Anne and Thomas, children of Peter Price, begot by Margaret his wife, March 16th, 1784.

It was observed that they had better be placed farther from each other, lest they should fight in their sleep.
